Chapter 750: You can still think like this!
At this time, a fight had just taken place outside the village. Xingchen watched indifferently as Nanfeng and Chen Jingshu dealt with the bodies of the killers who were sent over.
"Who is Jing Shufeng so generous as to send so many assassins? Have you found out?" Nanfeng asked numbly.
"Previous evidence points to the retired Duke Quan's Mansion. Previously, a traveling merchant came to the Dali Temple to inform us that gold was suspected to have been found on Fengshan Mountain. I think there must be a gold mine there."
"The mountain is closed under the jurisdiction of Duke Quan's Mansion, and it is also the first line of defense of Fengdu. The imperial garrison can only be stationed at the foot of the mountain, and there is a limit on the number of people. If there is really a gold mine, why didn't Duke Quan's Mansion report it? What is it going to do?" Nanfeng said in shock.
"I also sent people into the closed mountain to investigate, but there has been heavy fog in the past two years, so we have not been able to find any useful information. The peddler died in an accident when he went out not long after he informed us."
"Hasn't Duke Quan's Mansion withdrawn from the Fengdu dignitaries? They have never appeared in the court. Your Majesty has also been intending to take back the sealed mountain in recent years." Nanfeng said.
"But the head of the Quan family has been staying indoors all the time, has never come out, and has never met Your Majesty, let alone mentioned handing over the Fengshan Mountain."
"The previous heads of the Quan family all married princes of the royal family and have always held power. They only began to retire after Your Majesty ascended the throne. It seems that there are many good things in this sealed mountain, otherwise the Quan family would not be so low-key."
"Nanfeng, you are right. This is the situation. If the Quan family had not taken action, how could there be a steady stream of killers? Did you find out anything from the interrogation of the man captured alive by Xing Langjun in the secret passage?" Chen Jingshu asked.
"The interrogation is still ongoing. The two have only said that they were following orders to guard the secret passage and kill anyone who came out of the secret passage. They only said that they were from the Jin family, but the Jin family couldn't find any evidence that there were such masters." Xingchen said lightly.
"Then continue the interrogation. Either they are telling the truth or they are not telling the truth." Nanfeng said.
"We will go back tomorrow and be more careful," said Chen Jingshu.
"As long as they fail on this section of the way down the mountain, the rest will be fine. I have already sent a message to Rong Jin to go through the sealed mountain. The mountain is sealed with a formation, and Rong Jin can break the fog. We will have news about what is inside the sealed mountain in a few days."
After hearing this, Chen Jingshu and Nanfeng both looked at Xingchen: "Xing Langjun, when did you find out that there was something wrong with the mountain closure? I have been investigating this case for two years and only discovered it recently."
Xingchen looked at Chen Jingshu who had broken his defense and said lightly.
"I have to thank you for sending me the people. I integrated them into the secret agents of the Killing Pavilion. When someone from the Killing Pavilion was out on business, something happened in the sealed mountain area. Your people said that you had asked them to investigate before, and there was something wrong with the sealed mountain area, but nothing was found."
"In my opinion, there are always experts in charge of the situation where there are abnormalities but nothing can be found. So I deliberately went up the mountain from the west, which is closest to Fengdu, and found that there is a formation inside. It's just that it is very exquisite, and it is very similar to the illusion that Rong Jin designed for me at the headquarters of the Killing Pavilion."
"I'll notify Rong Jin and ask him to check it out."
"Mr. Xing, fortunately we are not enemies." Chen Jingshu said with emotion.
He and his men were not inferior in this aspect of insight. They had always felt that something was wrong, but no matter which way they went up the mountain, they would be trapped by the fog and could not get in at all. They had always thought that this was a fog unique to the mountains and never knew that it could be a problem with the man-made formation.
And Xingchen discovered the formation after only one visit...If this was his opponent, it would be a disaster if he really faced him.
"You're not bad either. I probably wouldn't have been able to find out before. It's just that I recently learned some content about formations from Rong Jin, so I know a little bit."
"Mr. Xingce, what did you learn from Rong Jin? Hasn't he only been here for a few days?" Nanfeng said defensively.
Is the formation so easy to learn? Xingchen is like this, he feels so stressed! He always feels that he is useless today.
"After Rong Jin was going to marry his wife, I asked him privately, and he also went to the headquarters of the Killing Pavilion. The simple formation is actually not difficult, but it is a bit troublesome to break the formation."
"And Jingshu, don't you have people who know how to use formations among your people? Didn't you find any problems with sealing the mountain?"
Xingchen's question made Chen Jingshu even more upset. Most of the formations his close associates knew were those in the house, and they were completely blind in the mountains. If Fengshan could see through it, he would have sent people in long ago.
"No, my people are familiar with the formations in the house, but not in the mountains."
"Oh! Let Rong Jin give me some pointers later. What's in the mountains is actually some special techniques for identifying directions."
Nanfeng and Chen Jingshu were both feeling depressed. Xingchen was simply too outstanding, making them feel powerless and unable to catch up.
At this moment, Chen Jingshu also felt that he was of no use today.
When Cui Yiyang appeared, he looked at Xingchen standing aside with his eyes closed, resting. Chen Jingshu and Nanfeng both lowered their heads, and no one knew what they were thinking. This scene seemed a little wrong.
"Nanfeng, what happened between you and Lord Chen?" Cui Yiyang asked curiously.
"Nothing, just a little shocked."
"Master Xiao Chen too? Who would hit you!"
"Of course it's Xing Cejun." Nanfeng quickly repeated what he had just said, and then Cui Yiyang looked at Xingchen.
"Mr. Cui Ce, tell me, with Xingchen around, are we useless?"
"How can it be useless? Isn't it enough to protect your wife? Xingchen is so capable, let him do it. Xingchen, you go to the Forbidden Army Camp and show me if there is any room for improvement. Xingchen, you want an official position, I will ask my father to arrange it for you." Cui Yiyang walked to Xingchen with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Don't even think about it." Xingchen looked at Cui Yiyang and said.
"Oh! You figured it out. If you could take over the Imperial Guards, I would have plenty of time to spend with my wife." Cui Yiyang said with regret on his face.
south wind:".........."
Chen Jingshu: “…”
How could they think that? Why didn't they think of that?
"Xing Ce Jun..."
"Xinglangjun...."
Xingchen glanced over and Nanfeng and Chen Jingshu fell silent immediately.
Cui Yiyang laughed as he watched the scene: "Xingchen, you are becoming more and more popular now. Back then, your beautiful face was cold and cold, but now you are so considerate and gentle."
Thoughtful and gentle? Nanfeng and Chen Jingshu looked at the two of them as if struck by lightning. Is this talking about Xingchen? Maybe it's a ghost?
"In the backyard, no one disobeys you. You also care about us a lot and help us when we encounter problems. Thank you for helping us with what happened to the Imperial Guards a few months ago. I have always been embarrassed to tell you that you are my best brother in Yiyang."
Xingchen looked at Cui Yiyang with a bit of disdain. He was really tired. Could anyone please be more reliable as his wife said?
Before they married the mistress, they were all outstanding. But after getting involved with the mistress, they all became unreliable and really hard to lead.
When Cui Yiyang saw Xingchen’s disgusted expression, the smile on his face froze. He seemed to be disliked.
